Rödljusterapi kan vara fördelaktigt när det kommer till förbättrat hudutseende, sårläkning, och smärtbehandling, enligt aktuell forskning.
Rödljusterapi använder den terapeutiska appliceringen av ljusenergi främst för att hjälpa till med läkning av hud- och muskeltillstånd, såsom ärrbildning och tendinit. Genom att utsätta kroppen för en låg våglängd av rött ljus (620 till 750 nanometer), rött ljusterapi stimulerar ökad energiproduktion i cellerna, vilket kan leda till otaliga hälsofördelar.
Även om det finns lovande studier som tyder på effektiviteten av rött ljusterapi, mer forskning är nödvändig för att helt fastställa dess potentiella fördelar. Dock, den används redan med framgång i många olika kliniska miljöer.

Vad är rött ljusterapi?
När det kommer till upptäckten av de potentiella fördelarna med rött ljusterapi, du kan faktiskt tacka resor till yttre rymden.
I oktober 1995, källor till rött ljus – en del av det synliga ljusspektrumet – gjorde sin debut med rymdfärjans flygning i den andra U.S.A.. Microgravity Laboratory Spacelab-uppdrag (STS-73, Columbia) som en del av experiment i växttillväxt.
“It was here that astronauts tending the plant growth chambers noticed little scratches on their hands began to heal,” says red light therapy researcher Janis T. Eells, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “Nothing heals in space, so NASA funded many years of research with these lights for human trials.”
These studies led to the discovery that red light therapy could be used deliberately as a type of photomedicine, which is the application of light for health and healing purposes. Visible light penetrates biological tissues, such as cells, muscle tissues, and nerve tissues—with red and near-infrared (NIR) light going deeper than green, blå, or violet light.
“With red light therapy, you expose an area of your body to a specific wavelength of red light emitted by a device that can range in size from handheld to whole-body,” says Casey Kelley, M.D., founder and medical director of Case Integrative Health. “Essentially, the red light stimulates your cells to work at a higher level.”

Hur fungerar rött ljusterapi?
Red Light Therapy accelerates skin healing by penetrating to the bottom of the skin’s dermis layer and into the subcutaneous fatty layer and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin proteins. It increases the skin’s metabolism of healthy oxygen and nutritional molecules. This gentle,yet extremely effective treatment is very beneficial as an anti-aging and skin rejuvenation tool and aids in fading sunspots and hyperpigmentation by stimulating the skin cells’ vitality and permeability. Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive,non-surgical facelift alternative, helping the skin maintain elasticity and firmness while refining its texture and smoothing lines and wrinkles.

Potentiella fördelar med rött ljusterapi
Red light therapy has many potential uses and benefits.
Dock, according to Elaine F. Kung, M.D., founder of Future Bright Dermatology in New York and assistant clinical professor at Weill-Cornell Medical College, it’s important to keep in mind that many of the published studies using red light as therapy are often small (less than 30 people), animal or lab studies. Som ett resultat, most medical professionals agree that more quality research with more human participants is needed.
Preliminary scientific results look very promising, though. Here are some of the conditions that are showing potential for treatment with red light therapy.
Improvement in Skin and Hair Conditions
Using light to affect positive skin changes is not a new concept. I själva verket, dermatologists have employed various light wavelengths in treatments for over 50 år, explains Dr. Kung.
With this in mind, one of the most commonly cited benefits of red light therapy is improvements to the skin. “It has been used to address signs of aging and skin damage, such as fine lines, rynkor, and age spots by stimulating collagen production,” says Dr. Kelley.
Perhaps the most notable benefit of red light therapy is the improved quality and texture of the skin, according to Dr. Ilyas.
Here are some specifics supporting these potential applications of red light.
- Fina linjer och rynkor. A 2020 study in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology found that light-emitting diode (LED) phototherapy may be effective when it comes to treating aging skin, with red light therapy showing promise for positive skin rejuvenation effects by boosting fibroblasts—which make collagen and, turn, gives skin its structure, styrka och elasticitet[1].
- Light therapy has been used to treat acne for years, especially in conjunction with medications and therapies meant to enhance light absorption, explains Dr IIyas. Accordingly, red light therapy is being explored as an acne treatment. One recent, small study showed that treating acne with red light therapy reduced mild and moderate breakouts by 36%[2].
- Skin fibrosis (i.e. ärrbildning) annually affects more than 100 million people worldwide[3]. Though more clinical trials are needed, there is a growing body of evidence that red light therapy may help modulate key cell characteristics that contribute to scarring. In this case, red light therapy is used to reduce collagen production in scar tissue, improving or preventing thickening scars, according to Dr. Ilyas.
- Sårläkning. Difficult-to-heal wounds like diabetic ulcers present a major skin treatment issue. Dock, Red light therapy is showing promise when used for the acceleration of healing. Researchers posit that it is once again likely the increase in cell mitochondria activity, fibroblast proliferation, och kollagenproduktion som kan bidra till denna potentiellt positiva rött ljusterapieffekt.
- Hårväxt. Rödljusterapi har visat sig minska effekterna av androgenetisk alopeci, den vanligaste formen av håravfall som orsakas av en genetisk predisposition för en överdriven reaktion på androgener som testosteron när som helst efter puberteten, explains Dr. Kelley. Genom att minska inflammation och öka blodflödet och cirkulationen till hårbotten, det har potential att ge mer cellaktivitet (och näringsämnen) till det området. Nyligen genomförda studier tyder på att användning av rött ljusterapi kan främja ökad hårtjocklek och täthet, men mer forskning behövs.
Lindring från kroniska sjukdomssymtom/minskning av smärta
En potentiell tillämpning av rött ljusterapi är att behandla kroniska smärttillstånd, såsom fibromyalgi. Nyligen, FDA godkände FibroLux, den första och enda terapeutiska lasern för att behandla fibromyalgismärta. "När rött ljusbehandling administrerades via FibroLux-laser av en vårdpersonal tre gånger i veckan under en treveckorsperiod, patienterna upplevde en markant minskning av fibromyalgismärta,” says Dr. Eells.
Rödljusterapi kan också minska neuropatismärta, enligt nyare forskning.
Dessutom, det kan lindra de smärtsamma biverkningarna av vissa cancerbehandlingar. "Till exempel, en klinisk prövning i fas tre visade fördelen med rött ljus för att minska oral mukosit [vävnadssvullnad och irritation i munnen] hos benmärgstransplanterade patienter genom en extraoral (utanför munnen) applicering på bara ett par minuter,” says Dr. Eells.
Förbättring av fettförlust
Även om rött ljus terapi annonseras för fett och viktminskning, juryn är fortfarande ute på detta. Dock, det finns några studier som visar att applicering av rött ljus kan påverka fettceller (cellerna som lagrar fett).
En äldre studie publicerad i tidskriften Obesity Surgery i 2011 hittade att när 40 vuxna med övervikt utsattes regelbundet för rött ljusterapi, deras adipocytceller frigjorde triglycerider, vilket resulterar i fettförlust. Deltagarna i denna studie förlorade ungefär 2.1 centimeters omkrets under en fyraveckorsperiod[4].
En annan 2015 studie av 64 kvinnor som lever med fetma publicerade i Lasers in Surgery and Medicine fann att rött ljusterapi kan öka fettförlusten i kombination med träning. I studien, två grupper arbetade för 20 minuter tre gånger i veckan och fick sedan rött ljusbehandling eller placeboljusbehandling. De som tränade och sedan fick rödljusbehandling uppvisade en större minskning av fettmassan, indicating that red light therapy may improve metabolic inflexibility[5].
Acceleration of Sports Recovery, and Injury Prevention
“Light can speed up the respiration process in cells and increase ATP and other mechanistic factors,” says Dr. Eells. “You stimulate cellular energy, and you stimulate the body’s ability to repair.”
På grund av detta, red light therapy may be promising when it comes to the treatment and prevention of a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Promotion of Brain Health
Research is increasingly demonstrating the benefits of using red light therapy for dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety and other brain conditions, explains Dr. Kelley. Continued studies indicate that brain photobiomodulation therapy may enhance the metabolic capacity of neurons and stimulate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant responses, as well as neurogenesis (bildandet av nya neuroner). This may be particularly helpful for individuals dealing with memory or mood conditions.
Red light therapy may also help patients with Parkinson’s disease manage their symptoms and sleep/wake cycles. Thanks to the minimal risk, many researchers believe that red light therapy for brain disorders will become one of the most important medical applications in the coming years and decades.
Side Effects of Red Light Therapy
I allmänhet, there are really no major side effects of red light therapy, according to Dr. Ilyas and Dr. Eells.
Dock, individuals who have a condition with photosensitivity like lupus or who are on medications that make them photosensitive shouldn’t use red light therapy, according to Dr. Debra Jaliman M.D., a board-certified dermatologist based in New York and author of the book, Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist.
Dr. Kelley also warns that pregnant women may wish to steer clear for now because red light therapy hasn’t been well studied in relation to pregnancy.
Dessutom, under senare år, there have been clinical reports that show visible light can induce melanin migration from the basal layer of the skin to the surface in darker-skinned individuals. “This means that visible light. which includes red light, can potentially aggravate hyperpigmentation and melasma in darker-skinned people,” says Dr. Kung. Dock, more studies are necessary to confirm these findings.
As a result of this potential side effect, Dr. Kung suggests that people should remain aware of how long and how often they are using red light therapy, especially those with darker skin tones.
